Ian's Shoelace Site – Granny Knot Info
www.fieggen.com
Many people are tying a “Granny Knot”, which sits crooked and comes loose. Learn the “one simple trick” for keeping your shoes neatly and securely tied.

Why YSK: The granny knot is the most common reason as to why show laces seem to be undone so easily. It’s caused when the Starting Knot & Finishing Bow don’t “balance” each other. Recognizing this can help you make your shoe knots much more secure.

Edit: (BTW, YSK the website as well. It’s a really good resource for tying and lacing shoes)

    I honestly don’t think I could learn a new way to tie my shoes at this point in my life if I tried. It’d be like trying to learn to write with my left hand.

    Doable, probably, but whats the point? My shoes come untied I just bend down and retie them. Takes a few seconds.
